OUR RED SKIN NEIGHBoRs.

It has been stated that the Cherokee
nation of Indians are the wealthiest COM
munity on the continent, and in view of
their being made near neighbors to us by
the extension of railroad lines into and
through their country, the following
data concerning their numbers. sources
OF wealth, relative to the general govern
ment, local regulations, ETC., which was
obtained by a correspondent of the St.
Louis Republican who recently made a
visit to the Cherokee country, will be Of
especial interest to the readers Of the
EAGLE. The correspondent says:
The government of the United States
owes the Cherokee nation So. 100, 600. and
the government pays it ) per cent annual
interest Besides this the Cherokee
Nation leases 6, 000. 600 acres of land to
cattle syndicate. for which it receives
$100. 900 wear. In another year it will
receive from this source not less than
$3.50 900 yearly. Every person working
in this nation not a citizen pays fifty
cents month for the privilege, and the
man who employs the foreigner" with
out permit viii be fined $50. This is a
tariff that the more progressive and in
teiligent CherokeeS are now kicking
against, but it is maintained as pro-
lection against invasion from abroad
not so much to protect the home laborer
as the home government. From the in
terest received from the United States. the
rental of the Cherokee strip. the fines
1,n Of a.
Cherokee government is made up. The
peoples money is not stored up in the
vaults Of the treasury. Whenever there
is a surplus, which is frequently, Ii IS
paid out per capita to the inhabitants.
Cherokee citizenship at the present
time is estimated to be worth s. 900
The Cherokees own 100000 acres Of
land in common, patented to the cor
poration called the Government OF the
Cherokee Nation by the United States.
This land is about the finest within the
limits Of the United States. Add to this
the 81. 100. 900 in trust with the govern
ment at ) per cent per annUn interest,
and YOU have an idea Of the Cherokee
estate The population of the ma
ton is between $4,000 and
-, 600. II the system of holding land in
common should be abolished and an
allotment Of land and other property
should ensue, it can be seen that each
Cherokee would be an heir for a hand
some dividend. But they have no idea
Of alloting their lands They can now
own all the improvements they make,
ANA every citizen can fence III and till as
much land as he feels disposed to- He
cannot fence in land, however. unless he
cultivates it. If he ceases cultivating
for two years he must tear the fence
down, or it will be torn down for him at
his expense There are 5.G00.000 acres
reserved to the population and 6.000,0G0
acres leased.

THE GRAIN STATUS.

X. c. Live Stock Indicator
The condition OF the market for the
cereals has been a veXed question for
months with those who are interested
therein, and the feeling OF dependency
has not been greater among cattle raisers
than grain producers. The small crops
OF wheat and corn. the past two years,
in Kansas, have not had the influence
upon the markets of the world that those
who imagine, or appear to imagine, that
all OF the supplies come from their con-
tigu0us counties or states. expected.
This is much bigger country than many
apparently realize and it is only the cos
mopOIitan in business matters who can
grasp the situation.
But be that as it may there is at the
present time, to all appearances. an up
ward tendency in the values of the
cereals as there is in those of cattle.
Whether they have come to stay is an
other question and one which time alone
can answer.
The rapid advance recently in values
not so much from day to day but SO grad
ually as TO gain foothold. has not been
unexpected by many and with the sur
rOundingS there are grounds Tor hope
that a retr0grade movement, If one should
take place. would not be permanent.
Those who read carefully. week after
week, the report of grain in sight at the
principal points of accumulation, at
lake and sea board ports. and in transit
by rail and water. cannot but be inn
pressed with the difference in the supply
Of wheat and corn on hand this year.
and the corresponding time last, as Will
be observed from the following reports
on November 80 and %, 1887, and same
time last year:

If there is anything in the law of sup
ply and demand. unless the demand
from certain quarters is likely to be cur
tailed i'll proportion to the supply, then
most assuredly must prices keep up,
until they get to a point where CON
sumption may be reduced. There is
one fact, of which there can be no
doubt. and il is. that good healthy
strong market for corn means better
prices for'hogs and cattle and the shrewd
feeders are eC0nomizing with their corn
and utilizing ii to the best advantage.
We can however. only deal with facts
as we find them, for there are so many
contingencies which may arise to change
the condition OF markets, that with
values. as with other things in life, no
one knows what a day may bring forth.
The New York Produce Exchange Re
porter. of last Saturday, referring to the
wheat market, says:
This has been week of great excite
ment in this cereal all over the country;
